Can your athletic past raise your risk for atrial fibrillation?Elite retired rowers face a nearly threefold increased risk of atrial fibrillation compared to the general population, driven by a combination of long-term cardiac remodelling and underlying polygenic genetic susceptibility.
 
 
 Missing gut bacteria in US babies triples allergy and eczema risk
 
Missing gut bacteria in US babies triples allergy and eczema riskUS infants lacking Bifidobacterium in their gut microbiome face significant changes in microbial composition, metabolic function, and immune-related health risks. This large, nationally representative study links early-life Bifidobacterium deficits to a three-fold increase in eczema, allergy, or asthma by age two.
 
 
 Prenatal exposure to nitrates associated with increased risk of preterm birth
 
Prenatal exposure to nitrates associated with increased risk of preterm birthEven low levels of nitrate-a common agricultural runoff and drinking water contaminant-are associated with increased risks of preterm birth and low birthweight babies, according to a new study published June 25 in PLOS Water by Jason Semprini of Des Moines University College of Health Sciences, US.
 
 
 Oleic acid from olive oil reduces infection-related bone loss with age
 
Oleic acid from olive oil reduces infection-related bone loss with ageA mouse study shows that dietary oleic acid, a key Mediterranean diet component, protects against age-related bone and microbiome damage triggered by periodontal infection. In contrast, a Western-style palmitic acid diet worsens bone loss and destabilizes the gut microbiome.
 
 
 Shingles and RSV vaccines with AS01 adjuvant reduce dementia risk
 
Shingles and RSV vaccines with AS01 adjuvant reduce dementia riskResearchers found that older adults who received AS01-adjuvanted shingles or RSV vaccines had a significantly lower risk of developing dementia within 18 months compared to flu vaccine recipients. The protective effect is likely linked to the AS01 adjuvant itself, highlighting new avenues for dementia prevention.
 
 
 Gut microbiota and metabolic changes linked to pregnancy risks in women with PCOS
 
Gut microbiota and metabolic changes linked to pregnancy risks in women with PCOSA new study presented today at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have distinct gut microbiota and metabolic signatures linked to premature endometrial aging and a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
 
 
 Investigating the role of ultra-processed foods in the inheritance of autism and ADHD
 
Investigating the role of ultra-processed foods in the inheritance of autism and ADHDIn a recent publication released by PubMed, American scientist Dr. Renee Dufault at the Food Ingredient and Health Research Institute, provides a peer-reviewed protocol for determining the role ultra-processed foods play in prenatal heavy metal exposures and changes in the expression of the zinc dependent MT-1 (metallothionein) gene that impact child neurodevelopment.
 
 
 Mayo Clinic researchers discover how ovarian cancer may begin
 
Mayo Clinic researchers discover how ovarian cancer may beginLittle is known about what causes ovarian cancer, and there is no way to detect it early yet. About 75% of the time when someone is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it has already progressed to stage 3 or stage 4, which means it has spread to other parts of the body.

Meningiomas more common in older women than previously knownTumors of the meninges are more common in older women than previously known. In a study from the University of Gothenburg, 2.7 percent of 70-year-old women had such tumors. The researchers emphasize that such findings should be treated with diligence and careful consideration.
 
 
 America slashes heart attack deaths but faces surge in deadly heart failure and arrhythmias
 
America slashes heart attack deaths but faces surge in deadly heart failure and arrhythmiasU.S. heart disease mortality has dropped 66% since 1970, mainly due to fewer ischemic heart disease deaths. However, deaths from heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertensive heart disease have risen sharply, signaling a new public health challenge.
